Sigh "Scenario IV: Dread Dreams"
type: Product
description: Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989/1990. The genre-classic debut 'Scorn Defeat' followed on Euronymous' Deathlike Silence Productions in 1993, & with each subsequent release, Sigh grew to become one of the country's greatest & most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange & the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & experimentation throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field whilst maintaining their old school roots, as witnessed with the stellar 2022 album, 'Shiki'. 2025 also saw Sigh remaking their 'Hangman's Hymn' album for a release on Peaceville as part of the band's 35th anniversary celebrations, in the shape of 'I Saw The World's End: Hangman's Hymn MMXXV'.

'Dread Dreams' was once more recorded at Shinjuku On Air Studio with J. Yamada, with a selection of guests including Damian Montgomery of Ritual Carnage lending lyrics plus guest vocals, along with King Fowley (Deceased), & Killjoy (Necrophagia) supplying additional song lyrics. Cover art came courtesy of renowned artist Joe Petagno (Motorhead, Autopsy). Continuing with Peaceville's re-issues of Sigh's classic works, this edition of 'Dread Dreams' contains a new master created by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony. The release also includes a new interview with main-man Mirai Kaw…
